I liked the K and the college athletic gym I worked out in. Two top notch gyms that serve their respective purposes.

All of the hardcore gyms are long gone but if you are ever in my area (geez, why doesn't that not sound right?) you are more than welcome to work out for "free" with me & the boys. I will pm you my #. Just let me know, k?

Been to that one....great gym. Power Factory in (dont recall city) Ohio is great. Flex Gym in Racine, WI was a great gym Not sure what they've done to it lately. DePaepes Gym in Rock Island, IL was the shit while I was in school.

Surprisingly enough there are no really good gyms here in Phoenix.

Any gym that doesn't have old people walking around naked. But I have yet to find such a gym.

Nice. The Boston University gym is pretty crazy also. next time you are in Boston take a tour. Northestern is more the JP - Symphony area than Boston. It's on the outskirts of the city really.

BU:

Texas Gym or Metroflex

Temple Gym, Birmingham, England.

I had the pleasure/pain of training legs with the legendary Leroy Davis this afternoon. You won't get a better workout in any other gym in the world.

Haha

Nah, we started off with leg extensions, three main sets working up to 220lbs to failure.

Then leg press, 3 sets, with 8, 9 and then 10 plates a side.

Then hack squats (which I hate because I prefer regualr squats and don't do them often), 3 sets working up to 450lbs (Leroy did 495)

Lying extensions for hams, 3 sets (using the stack but unsure of how much weight)

Standing leg curls 2 sets (same as above)

Seated calf raises working up to 185lbs

Standing calf raises, 3 sets working up to 800lbs (Leroy did 900lbs)

It's amazing how much muscles can hurt when you do exercises properly with strict form - my legs are still hurting now.
